Expecting that worthless piece of shiat to display even the slightest bit of decency is expecting a lot.

reklamfox: Yes and no. Paterno is defiantly to blame for the length of time it took for the truth to come out, but he wasn't solely to blame for actively cover up the molestation. When it was made aware to Paterno that Sandusky was seen raping a boy in the locker room shower, instead of immediately picking up the phone and reporting it to the cops he went to see his supervisor. The story moved up the chain of command to the college President who then made the decision to keep the allegations a secret. They (the big-wigs) got together with Sandusky and all they did was take away his keys and revoke permission to be in the locker room area without an escort. It's sick, I know.

You're still defending the indefensible. Paterno was Sandusky's boss. The grad student told him he'd seen Sandusky sodomizing a kid in the shower, and instead of beating the shiat out of Sandusky and then firing him, he reported it to his boss and then let Sandusky stay on until the issue of Sandusky abusing other boys became so acute that Paterno... pushed Sandusky to retire, but still allowed him access to Penn State facilities?

E_Henry_Thripshaws_Disease: Well, he is a Catholic.

has anyone commented about this comment yet?


Any love for the Catholic Church went out the window when they tried lecturing American nun organizations because they spent too much time helping the poor and not preaching their radical views on abortion, gay marriage, birth control, etc.

rynthetyn: So let's be clear here. Santorum hates gay people because he thinks they're all pedos but then he's defending the school that covered up actual pedos.

What makes you think he hates gay people? You only know what he says, not what is in his heart. Now, I don't know what is in his heart, regarding gay people - especially not well muscled, well hung, lightly oiled gay people who reek ever so subtly of masculine sweat. But I suspect that the word "hate" might not describe it accurately.

/ to make it clear, I am NOT IN ANY WAY DEFENDING PATERNO but it seems to be a misconception that he failed to report the allegations at all and is the only one to blame for the continued assaults.

I have seen nobody say JoePa was the only one.

The Freech report does note that the the campus powers were going to the cops, but good ol' JoePa is the bastard that talked them and enabled the rapes to continue.

don't understand: That's the scariest thing of all. Rmoney has done everything the exact WRONG way during his campaign and he's practically tied with Obama in the polls. WTF, America?

Okay, I admit I didn't read the Freeh report and I didn't even follow this case that closely but as I understand it Sandusky farked little boys and Paterno covered it up even though he knew what was going on.

Do I have that right?

If so, is there anything more I really need to know?

I mean besides the fact that the GOP once considered Santorum a potential candidate to run against Obama.

I think my cat would make a better president than Santorum (or Romney for that matter) and she sleeps most of the time.

Americans want jobs? Oh look, a red dot from a laser pointer. Foreign policy? Why you feed me this crappy food? I want Fancy Feast, not this healthy shiat. There's too much stuff on your desk, I'm just going to knock a bunch of it off and then lay on your keyboard.

Weaver95: I sometimes wonder if Santorum is actually sane or if he's got some sort of legitimate mental disease.

I wonder that of most republicans

He's in the denial stage because this practically means the past few decades at Penn State have been nothing but a sham.

Hopefully he gets out of that stage quick.

gilgigamesh: Well, he is a Catholic.

Well, he is a Catholic Republican. Those combo likes to take child buggery to the next level.

Ladies and gentlemen, could we have just figured out why the Santorum children look so disturbed?



//Now if we could only explain the daughter holding a doll dressed the same as she is.

gilgigamesh: Well, he is a Catholic.

Actually if Paterno were a priest, we'd see MAAAAAYBE 1/10 of the defenders. The Western World has a bizarre blindspot where sports are concerned.

my concern with the Freeh report, a lot of the conclusions in the Freeh report aren't matched by the evidence that they presented

3.5 million emails sifted through and 430 interviews later we have in the Freeh Report what most observers consider to be the definitive timeline to date on the sordid events that comprised the scandal and yet Santorum reflexively dismisses it as being inconsistent without providing a single example and then strongly implies that he still thinks that the criminal trial may yet exonerate the participants?

What a delusional douchebag that guy is.

/And here I was thinking my opinion of the guy could not go any lower.
//Live and farkin' learn, I guess.
///Yeesh.

Ricardo Klement: If Paterno created, knowingly, the conditions that allowed a pedo to operate, knowing the consequences, then calling him a defender may be inaccurate because it's too passive a description.

Ricardo Klement,

I agree that is why I don't think paterno was a mere "defender" he was an enabler of pedophilia. Like I said in a previous post, he wasn't just a passive player here, he was an active participant in keeping others from reporting this pedophiles actions to the proper authorities. (Then continued to give that same pedophile the keys to the kingdom with every privilege afforded an ex-coach and then some, way out of line with the norm.)

IMHO his actions were just short of holding the kids down for his protege Sandusky.

FTA:
Rick Santorum (PA) has long positioned himself as a champion of family values, so one might think he would be the strongest advocate for children who had been sexually assaulted by trusted adults.


No, one would not. Infact, the opposite is true.

IlGreven: ...Paterno didn't rape anyone. Sandusky did that. You see any Paterno defender directly defending Sandusky? No? Then you're a liar if you call a Paterno defender a pedo defender. Simple as that.

Ok, so what do you call a Paterno Defender, when Paterno was a pedo defender (enabler)?

Because the record shows that Paterno actually quashed the plan to report Sandusky to the State's Child Welfare agency and the 2 Mile foundation's Board. Instead, Paterno convinced them (psu Pres, VP and AD) to keep it in house and be "humane" to Sandusky and not report him. It was the failure to report which allowed Sandusky to keep raping little boys for another decade.

I get it that you don't think defending Paterno is defending pedophilia. My point is that I don't see much of a distinction between defending pedophilia and defending a man whose own deliberate and intentional acts, prevented a known pedophile from being turned over to the proper authorities. Care to show me where I'm wrong and those two actions are miles apart? (or are they a mere few inches in scale and scope?)

Gyrfalcon: Anyone around here who tries to point out that a whole lot of other people could have done something besides Paterno is automatically cast as "defending pedophiles and child molesters". I've had the same problem, when I asked the simple question What else could Paterno have done? and got jackrolled like a jackal at a lion feeding frenzy because I wouldn't accept "SOMETHING!!!!" as an answer.

Actually, it wasn't a case of: "what else could Paterno have done?" It is a case of what Paterno actually did.

It wasn't his failure to report Sandusky's activity to the proper authorities once he learned that the Univ President, VP and purported boss Curley were not going to do so that is the real problem. It's that he was instrumental in convincing his bosses, once they became aware of the situation NOT to report it to authorities. It wasn't some misstep on his part due to negligence, or failure to act. He acted, and those actions included becoming a key figure in a conspiracy to cover up what Sandusky was doing. So, it wasn't a failure to act - it was the fact he acted in such a manner so as to help cover up the acts of a pedophile.

Then adding salt to the wound, he continued to let Sandusky have access to premium psu perks, like box seats at football games (including space for Sandusky's "guests"), paid for or arranged travel for Sandusky (and "guests") for literally hundreds of psu away football games and sporting events over the next decade), and still allowed Sandusky to routinely bring young boys around the program and athletic facilities, including the now notorious shower room.

Hell, what he did went way beyond covering up for this pedophile! He was providing Sandusky with all the tools necessary to recruit and groom his potential victims. All the while knowing full well of what Sandusky was up to. It seems like he barely was short of providing the chloroform and holding the kids down for Sandusky to bugger.

reklamfox: So now somehow explaining what happened turned into me defending Sandusky raping little boys? I don't think so. Paterno is a horrible, horrible person for not immediately picking up the phone and calling the police. Death was more then he deserved. I'm not defending anything.

The way you phrased your "explanation" seemed keyed to take blame from Paterno. Yes, "other people" could have done "something", but Paterno was Sandusky's boss; he was where the buck stops.

The fact that no one above Paterno did anything is why a number of Penn State officials have already been charged and will likely be going to jail.

Indeed, when the abuse scandal broke, Santorum expressed support for Paterno, saying "I have no idea what his side of the story is" and "of course I'll be rooting for him and wish him the best."

Santorum: "Hey Joe Pa, these 10 kids said Sandunsky raped them, and everyone says you knew about it and didn't stop him. What's your side of the story?"
Paterno: "I think I'll just retire. To those kids, sorry bruh, but I wish actually gave a fark.."
Santorum: "Tough break, man. I'll be rooting for you! I hope everything works out for you and Penn State."

js34603: Anyone think he might have gotten the nomination if he hadn't dropped out? I mean it was pretty close right? He led at some point and everything.

That would be worse than Romney right?

No.

Not really (flavor of the week).

Yes.

/wanted Huntsman so we could have a debate amongst intelligent adults
//don't agree with the man on a LOT of things but at least he has a head on his shoulders
///but he knows Mandarin and worked under Obama so we can't have that

So I'm sort of sitting back and waiting for the facts to come out as opposed to at least I'm being told is a version of the facts. ...

This from a guy who believes anything a 2,000 year old badly translated book says.

This guy was almost a nominee for becoming the future President of our country.

What the fark. What the fark...

Happy Hours: Okay, I admit I didn't read the Freeh report and I didn't even follow this case that closely but as I understand it Sandusky farked little boys and Paterno covered it up even though he knew what was going on.

That's adorable. I'll vote for your cat as long as my three cats can have cabinet positions. I'm thinking Cinnamon can be SecDef because she is the best fighter, EVE would be a good secretary of transportation because she moves faster than anything I've seen, and Yukon Cornelius can be the Surgeon General because he makes everything better.

it's hard to avoid the conclusion that he's in denial about what took place at his alma mater.

I'm pretty sure this isn't the only thing he's in denial about

czei: The Freeh report makes it clear that the university was going to report the incident, but Paterno talked to them had told them to back off. Of course Spanier, Schultz, and Curley are guilty for not reporting, but the shocking bit is the coach had enough control over them that he called the shots.

Seeing the response of students, alumni, and fans of the football team is there any surprise? Football ranks well above not letting little boys be raped in the showers.

You have to understand where he is coming from, Sandusky probably created a lot of santorum with the help of Paterno and friends.

As for the reason there is so much focus on Paterno rather than the others involved, he is the most prominent. He is the one people knew of before the incident. He is the one that gets the masses riled up defending the school. He gets more attention than he should in this, but the more prominent and well known person always will.

Blame Hofmann: Well, he's a politician catering to the views of his constituents. Par for the course.

Who, exactly, are his constituents? He couldn't even get a majority of Republicans to nominate him to keep his seat the last time he ran for office before this primary season. He had a brief moment when he was considered electable this year before everyone realized what a stark raving nut job he really is.

At this point he has no political prospects in Pennsylvania and the open utterance that he's presidential material generally results in convulsive laughter. His only future is to howl like a rabid hound at the moon.

My unwavering religious faith and refusal to ever compromise my beliefs has always served me well in life, and you people have nothing better to do than mock what other people hold most dear. I spoke to my preacher earlier today about this "Santorum hate", and he told me exactly what I needed to hear: It will happen when it's meant to happen. I recently did a Google research on this man who originally predicted the event and that led me ultimately here.

Looking at your website for the last hour I have seen:

Encouraging the use of drugs and alcohol

Do you live in Pakistan or something?

"Congress passed a law that said that you had to look at this case," Santorum said. "He simply thumbed his nose at Congress.... What he's saying is, 'I don't have to hold a new trial because I've already determined that her rights have been protected.' That's nice for him to say that. But that's not what Congress told him to do. Judges should obey the law. And this judge - in my mind - simply ignored the law."

~noted judicial scholar Rick Santorum, during the Terri Schiavo debacle.~

IlGreven: AbbeySomeone: I wonder how many Penn Staters were contributors to his failed campaign?

...it's a college town. Probably none.

Alumni....

So either Santorum really didn't read the Freeh Report, he has a reading comprehension problem, or he's just in denial.

bluorangefyre: don't understand: What does it say about America that this d-bag and that Bachmann train wreck were once frontrunners as Republican candidates for President of the United States? Not to mention the f*ck they decided to go with. Holy sh*t, this country is f*cked up.

Not the country, just the GOP. The country becomes farked if Mittens wins though.

That's the scariest thing of all. Rmoney has done everything the exact WRONG way during his campaign and he's practically tied with Obama in the polls. WTF, America?

It's like the We are angry, or something like that, that some Penn State people are pushing. On the FB page, they say they're angry about what happened, then they say they're angry the Freeh report was as is and a bunch of other stuff that gives away what they really care about.
